Ninth Bishop of Texas

What must we be freed from so that we may embrace God's invitation to draw closer to God and to one another?

Christmas Eve sermon for 2020 from Bishop Doyle: Christ comes to us no matter where we are, wherever our friends and family may be found; nothing on Earth can keep your savior away.

"Non-action in times such as these is not an option for a Christian ... we are invited by this prophecy to lighten the burdens of others." A sermon from Bishop Doyle at Trinity Episcopal Church, Marble Falls.

Bishop Doyle's sermon at St. James' Austin, an historically Black church that embodies Jesus' prophetic voice: let us look to the horizon where God meets us, as generations have done before.

El sermón del obispo Doyle en St. James 'Austin, una iglesia históricamente negra que encarna la voz profética de Jesús: miremos al horizonte donde Dios se encuentra con nosotros, como lo han hecho generaciones antes.

Jesus's kingdom is not run in a respectable way. It's an extravagant amount of grace, an extravagant and imprudent amount of hope.

When we truly grasp God's generosity and extravagance for ourselves, which looks completely like mismanagement to the rest of the world, we will see that God is for people; and so the follower of Christ becomes for people too, sharing the extravagance of grace and mercy with others.

A sermon preached for Church of the Holy Apostles, Katy.

Like Moses, we stand at the precipice of tomorrow. We are given opportunity to change - to work beyond our own individual flourishing, for the flourishing of others, for God's vision. For a history-making God.

This sermon was originally preached for Emmanuel, Houston, on Exodus 3:1-15.

A sermon about gut reactions, rooted in magical thinking - not so different from worshipping the marketplace gods in Paul's time.

The truth is, the lesser stories are addictive and never enough.

God answers you and bids you hear, and see - the age of the marketplace gods has come to an end.
